Haha but serious: those fountain pens that cost thousands of dollars are collectible art pieces that aren’t actually optimized for a good writing experience. They’re CEO bait.

Serious hand-writers use fountain pens that mostly cost between $30 and $200. You can get decent ones for $10 but they tend not to be very airtight and quickly dry out.

My #1 practical recommendation is the TWSBI Eco, which is generally around $40 in the west.

Comic with two panels labeled “yes,” and “but.” The first shows a fountain pen on sale for $2065, the second shows it being used for a terrible childish signature. The credit in the corner is to instagram username underscore yes underscore but.
